the area of a square is 144 square centimeters. what is the length of one side of the square?
A = a^2
144 = a^2
sqrt 144 = a
12 = a.....each side of the square is 12 cm
Answer:
The length of one of the side of the square is 12 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the Square = 144 cm²
let s be the side of the square.
According to the question,
\(s\times s=144\)
\(s^2=144\)
\(s=\pm\sqt{144}\)
\(s=\pm12\)
negative value of s is rejected as side can never be negative.
Therefore, The length of one of the side of the square is 12 cm.
